Psychosocial Treatments
Traumatic Experiences and Substance Abuse
This article examines the relationships between various types of traumatic experiences and addictive behavior, with an eye to formulating effective treatment strategies. Interventions in the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related fields are reviewed in an effort to understand how best to integrate them into substance abuse treatment. The recovery-oriented therapy model is used as a framework to define treatment tasks at each stage of th…
Anger Management and Temper Control
Recent studies have shown associations among combat experience, PTSD, anger and hostility, and involvement in violence. Clinical observations of veterans enrolled in the Substance Use/Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Team (SUPT) program at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center revealed relatively high levels of anger and aggressive behavior, including physical assaults and property damage. In response to this anger and aggressive behavio…
Policy and Medical-Legal Issues in the Prescribing of Controlled Substances
The physician who prescribes controlled substances is faced with an array of laws, regulatory policies, and professional attitudes about their use.

U.S. Department of Transportation regulations prescribe the specifics of how urine specimens are to be collected, how to inform the specimen donor of the process to which he or she will be subjected, and certification of laboratories by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. These guide…
Taking the Train to a World of Strangers
The marketing of health care services raises the prospect that an\nethic of strangers will govern relations between providers and patients. A\nfiduciary model that emphasizes honesty and public accountability, as well as\nthe patient's good and avoiding unnecessary services, can keep marketing\nconsistent with the ethical tradition of medicine
Legal Vulnerabilities in the Treatment of Chemically Dependent Dual Diagnosis Patients
Substance abusing patients with significant psychiatric disorders can present unique legal vulnerabilities for treatment professionals. The tendency within the chemical dependency community to treat patients uniformly can militate against the individualized treatment planning that satisfies legal obligations to act in the best interest of the patient. The failure to adequately consider both the psychiatric disorder and substance abuse problem may…
